I see a lot of AATs and Hyenas (which I've yet to pick up). Swamp Speeder is surprisingly plentiful too.Only seen Plo Koon's fighter in one store and left it several times, but don't regret it, yet. Got Xanadu Blood and Droid Gunship via HTS and have yet to see them in a store.

Since I live near Piet it's pretty much the same a bit south from him - I saw Plo Koon's JSF once and that's the one I bought to open. I saw the Xanadu Blood once, I opened it, but it was defective so I returned it.

I recently ordered the Xanadu Blood, Droid Tri-fighter Repaint and the Droid Gunship from HTS - was gonna get them as my openers, but they arrived in mint shape, so they're my MIB ones.

So now, I'm just waiting for the next time the Droid Gunship comes in stock so I can order all four vehicles with the intention of opening the Xanadu Blood, Droid Tri-Fighter and Droid Gunship and keeping the Plo Koon JSF MIB. If by some miracle the Jedi Turbo Speeder comes back in stock, I'll pull the trigger then too.

I have no faith in any of these vehicle waves hitting the stores locally to me, there's just too many of the Hyena Bomber wave ships hanging around - the TRU near where I work got in more ships, but it was a case with the V-19, Hyena Bomber, Trade Federation Tank and Obi-Wan's JSF - just what my area needed, more of the same vehicles that already aren't selling.

Man V-19's... I think I saw the blue boxed one once, and never again. The original blew out too. I was shocked considering how many there were. Once a sale hit, those things moved in the old boxes. Glad I got with the first sale I ever saw those at. I love that little ship. Wish I had a hyperspace ring for one.

I bought another one of these today after seeing it on the shelves for the first time at Walmart. Haven't decided if I will keep it or not, but maybe.

I would really love to know how they managed to screw the pooch so badly on getting the Tri-Fighter and HMP out. That is really perplexing. I'm glad to have these at all, but I would have preferred swapping out my sub-par packages for mintier boxes.

Consider yourself lucky that you live near a WalMart that is getting new vehicles in, all of the ones by me are still clogged with the Hyena Bomber wave and have plenty of the Trade Federation Tank, AT-AP and Swamp Speeder to go along with it.

I saw one today at a Wal-mart, too. It may be the only new Star Wars thing that Wal-Mart has gotten all year.

I'm no crazy retail hunter like I used to be, but I still visit 2-3 different stores a week and I still don't see any gunships/Plo fighters/or this thing for what it's worth. Has me worried that nothing else new in this class was shown at TF means the end of the line? Ya probably not, but ya....

I decided to keep my spare of this thing since I don't expect any new mid-size vehicles until the Fall. I did take it back to Walmart yesterday for a price adjustment though, since I had a $5 Clone Cash coupon to use that expires on 4/1.

I managed to grab two at Toys R us Thursday (one for me and one for Pete_Fett). I took the opener. The price point was a little higher, but I'll take it.Now if we could just get a $15 vehicle sale at Target so I can get the Hyena Bomber and ATT.

Yeah, I opened my spare over the weekend and put it through some rigorous kid-testing. My girls loved it, especially firing the missiles over and over at my poor Aqua Droid. I don't have any astromechs handy, but that slot makes a nice seat for Yoda.

My only complaint is that the pop-up gun panels come off a bit too easily, but that's a minor issue. It's a cool, fun vehicle and very convenient for displaying loose figs.
